Hello,
My name is John Cawthron.
lam a resident of Nashua and Lam concerned with the recent mask mandate that was supported by Mayor Donchess
and passed by the Board of Alderman.
The science concerning the wearing of masks to prevent the spread of disease shows that the wearing of masks is
ineffective at best and harmful to the wearer at worst.
95% of the masks being worn, DO NOT prevent a person from spreading or being infected from anything except possibly
pollen and dust..
They may provide some mitigation against an infected person spreading COVID but, that mitigation goes away after 4
hours or so because the moisture from your own breath makes the masks moist.
Once a mask is moist or wet, it provides NO mitigation at all.
Medical grade masks that actually might do something are meant to be worn once and then disposed of.
People are wearing their masks over and over instead of disposing of them.
Mask wearers are essentially walking around with an incubation module on your their face, making things worse, not
better, for themselves and those around them.
Please take the time to review the information found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQo/7bV2hzBY.
The entire video is relevant, but the mask portion begins at 5:40 and quotes the studies done on wearing masks to
prevent the spread of disease.
if someone chooses to wear a mask, that is their choice.
Forcing everyone to wear a mask, in essence just to make other people feel comfortable, is an affront to all that is
American.
in my opinion times like these call for leadership.
The very definition of leadership is a person doing what they know to be right, even when the madding crowd is pushing
everyone in the other direction. .
The madding crowd is telling you all to throw away the thought of personal liberty in favor of mass compliance that
essentially has no useful purpose.
| urge you to all to consider rescinding this infringement on our personal liberties, for the simple fact that the science
does not back up this mandate.
Respectfully,
John Cawthron
